I was called out to a house built in the early 1920's to estimate the refurbishment costs.
Downstairs Lounge
The downstairs lounge and throughout the front of the house the windows show elements of late arts nouveau stained glass made for the housing development market.
Fortunately for the new owners, the glass is in generally good condition. Three windows have breaks that need repairing and two hopper type windows need to have the bowing corrected and glazing bars installed. Most of the windows need to have the tie wires re-attached.
The unusual feature of the windows is one at the back of the house in a dark corner. It is much more in keeping with the artistic developments of the period.
Due to the extension to the house being planned at this point, this window needs to be removed and stored until the extension is complete and can be re-installed in its new location.
